One of my takeaways from the whole pandemic debacle was that clearly this generation is so devoid of meaning, purpose and hope that they NEED some sort of catastrophe just to feel something, anything, but especially that they are the focus of some sort of heroic, dramatic, historical force.

The climate hysteria is the same. The gender hysteria, the "mental health crisis" hysteria. The AI hysteria... All the current "crises" are manufactured and sold using the same pattern.

Even the crazy mass psychosis that Trump's election unleashed can be understood in that light.
